Expert Talk | Holistic Baby Sleep: Gentle, Connection-Based Solutions (No Sleep Training Needed)

Expert Talk | Holistic Baby Sleep: Gentle, Connection-Based Solutions (No Sleep Training Needed) In this episode of the Madinat Mom Podcast, Nour speaks with Nada, a holistic baby sleep and wellbeing specialist and mom of three, about a connection-based approach to baby sleep that goes beyond traditional sleep training. Nada explains her "sleep puzzle" method—looking at the whole child and family to understand why babies and toddlers wake at night. Instead of one-size-fits-all solutions, she explores how factors like nutrition, medical issues, environment, temperament, family stress, and maternal wellbeing can affect sleep. Together, they discuss common baby sleep myths, the role of attachment in early childhood, and why frequent night waking can sometimes be developmentally normal. Nada also shares practical guidance for creating gentle sleep routines, navigating regressions, traveling with young children, and supporting sleep without forcing independence too early.
